Education Minister Muhammad Nuh has suggested high schools with few students and low pass grades based on the recent national examinations should merge.
“If a region has two high schools with few students, and they are located near to each other, they could merge,” Nuh said in Jakarta on Sunday.
Nuh said the government would set a strict and high standard on the establishment of new schools in the future.
“Therefore, it doesn’t mean that someone who owns a building can simply establish a school. We have requirements and standards to fulfill,” he added.
This year, all students from 267 schools participating in the national examinations have to take remedial tests on May 10-14. Some of the failing schools only had 20 students taking the national exams, said Nuh.
